Getting Implants Removed After 25 Years! - Santa Barbara, CA

Breast Implant Removal
I found him on the Real Self website. My post op with a nurse was a little disappointing. I'm going back in two days for follow up so I'll report again after that. The nurse was late and then seemed flustered and unprepared. She taped me up very sloppily, didn't even have scissors to cut the tape so the tape was extra long and went way above and below where it needed to go. Hopefully things will be better Wednesday. Dr. MacKenzie was fantastic, and so is Lisa Glenny, his coordinator. My second post op with same PA was much better this time. I think the fact that I didn't almost pass out this time, made things better for her too. She removed the tape, cleaned the site and retaped very neatly. Good experience!
A Good Experience :) - Santa Barbara, CA

how i chose him? i saw a couple surgeons online and made a couple consults with diff surgeons and i ended up liking dr mackenzie the best so i went with him and i don't regret it ! The whole office staff is very nice and welcoming, the only con for me was not seeing him as much as i wanted too post op, but i understand he's a busy surgeon and all. But other than that i would definitely recommend dr mackenzie :)

Made my Procedures Incredibly Comfortable - Santa Barbara, CA
Posted by HLJones
I searched four years for the right doctor to do two things that i always dreamt about, but after seeing horrible or less than perfect result on friends and celebrities and what not I can definately say I was cautious to say the least. I found out about him through many friends who he did work on which is the best why to find a surgeon. He was caring and didn't hesitate to answer all my questions no matter how rediculous they were.We discussed what I wanted and what would be reasonable expectations, generally what would be best for me health wise and cosmetically wise....He preformed my brest aug and more important to me my rhinoplasty. I could not be happier with my results. Dr. M is a very intelligent meticulous surgeon nd thank god he is young because I expect to be returning to him for anything and everything else in the future because I'm a perfectionist and Dr. M is the only doctor I trust.

Lipo on Multiple Areas Plus Mini Tummy Tuck and Fat Graftting to Cheeks- Santa Barbara, CA
Posted by Taxi452
Liposuction
I saw my PS yesterday for my 3 months PO check up. I show him the area of my concern that I think I didn't see good result on the lipo and fat grafting on my cheeks. He said that we need to wait for 3 more month to decide wheter I need a revision or not because with liposuction the full result will be seen after 6 months. I will see what happen after 6 months. Keep hoping for more result because I am not happy if what I see now is the final result. I give two stars for wait time because my surgery was scheduled at 12:15 and I didn't get on the surgery table until 1:58 pm. I was super hungry already when I came in at 11:30 because I was fasting since the night before and still have to wait for more than 2 hours. I was told that the surgery prior of mine took longer than expected. I might change this review after the final result. This is my review for now (3 month PO)

Breast Reduction
I had talked to a couple of friends about a plastic surgeon in the area and they had both used him for other procedures. He has a wonderful website that I was able to research and felt very confident in seeking him out for my surgery. He and his staff are very friendly and very willing to answer questions. My initial impression was spot on. Since meeting the staff and having my breast reduction surgery, I have become impressed even more. Dr. MacKenzie called the evening of the surgery to check on me and make sure everything was fine. Whenever I have a question I think of after leaving the office, I can call or e-mail them and get a quick response. I plan on returning to his office for future procedures and will definitely refer any of my friends to his office.
Great Experience All the Way Around - Santa Barbara, CA

I have been going to this office for the past 10 years or so for injectables and few minor cosmetic procedures. Dr. MacKenzie was a natural choice for my breast augmentation. In addition, I spoke with a couple of other patients that were VERY happy with their results. Dr. Mackenzie is an amazing doctor. I had my implants replaced after 12 years and a breast lift. He was right on when he told me what breast implant size I would need to get the results I wanted. His PA, Jessica, is also so genuine and very helpful with any questions or concerns I had. Zed Reagan, the anesthesiologist, was very good. He called me at home the night before to go over everything and made me feel safe. I highly recommend this entire team to anyone that is interested in plastic surgery.
